he has been studying climate science for three decades now. good morning. thank you for being here. you live in lower manhattan. you saw the storm's devastation first hand. were you surprised by sandy's magnitude? >> well orve, of course, i was surprised. even though i do this kind of work professionally. sandy was not caused by global warming, but it was made worse. believe me, it's no laughing matter. this situation is going to get worse as long as the world continues to warm and the world is going to continue to warm as long as we keep burning primarily coal oil and natural gas for energy. that's putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. that's pumping up the temperature of the earth and causing the seas to rise. >> let's talk specifically about manmade climate change. how much do you blame that? >> climate change, as i said, didn't cause sandy, but it made it worse. climate changed caused, for instance, the sea level at new york's battery to be a foot higher than it was a century ago. that made the storm surge worse, that increased the flooding of the subways. they have brough

is a prominent science and engineering producer in the world. you will get all kinds of dissonance in the numbers i feel quantitatively because of their large engineering graduation rates in some very large countries come up to believe china, but there's a lot of dispute about what those numbers actually mean. in terms of quality, the science and engineering fields in the u.s. at the university level are the highest, though others are catching up, as others have said, because u.s. was the only man left standing or only person left standing at the end of world war ii, and it had the free field for two or three decades. as far as k-12 concerned, things are quite different. you have a huge disparity in the quality, even within 50 miles or so. i think of where we're sitting today. you would probably find outstanding quality, science and math education, and terrible quality. that is a microcosm of the u.s. as a whole, which has huge inequalities in its k-12 education system, so it is average performance on all of the indicators is medium among other
